I miss his photos. I wish him well no matter where life takes him. Even if he ends up a Duck, I still wish him well off the ice.

I hate him with the intensity of a million ******* supernovas.

Keep dreaming. Seriously. If you guys think that you are just gonna skate the regular season unnoticed, you are delusional. The Blackhawks have a huge target on their backs because they are the defending Stanley Cup champions. You guys act as if you are just gonna ballerina dance to the playoffs based on this so-called awesome core. It's not hard for your core to look awesome when you have crazy depth. Guess what, aside from hanging your hopes on AHL'ers to develop into the perfect role players (good luck with that), your depth is gone. Half of your team will be carrying the burden of a Cup they didn't win for the entire season. Teams are just WAITING to exploit your lack of depth. Do you really think that every other team in the league is blind to the fact that if your team has more than one significant injury, you are probably done? All I can say is welcome to the hell that is coming back in the NHL under the current point system. Your team better be firing on all cylinders right out of the gate or you could be out of it by the end of December.

Does he have talent? Yes. Is he a ******? Yes. Does he run his mouth and hide behind his windshield? You bet. He talks, and never backs it up. Bottom line.

Your posts make me laugh for all the wrong reasons.

it's sounds like the blackhawks fans are going through the Five Stages of Grief: 1. Denial – "The Blackhawks are fine. They've still got their CORE!!" 2. Anger – "COME ON! We just won the Cup! How can this happen to us?" 3. Bargaining – "I don't care if we win the Cup again, as long as we beat Detroit...please?" 4. Depression – "What's the point of going to games? It's not like they're gonna win the Cup again" 5. Acceptance – "One and Done. At least we have Football."

Your logic is flawed. See bold.

Shhhh....I'm trying to pump up the Hawk's fans so they'll be even more disappointed when we beat them.

I like the Blackhawks chances to repeat this year. 2006-07 to be exact

I've been thinking I'd like to ice Downey-Abdelkader-Eaves with Ericsson and Sutton. esteef

I've been thinking lately that I'd rather have Kovalchuk than Kariya.

God only knows why I am responding to this, but here it goes. This post absolutely defies logic. How you can say with a straight face that the Hawks chance are better than the Wings is frightening and at the same time shows your lack of hockey knowledge (granted you are a Blackhawks "fan" meaning you started watching hockey within the last couple of years). No team can expect to lose what the Hawks did then just come into the season without skipping a beat. That will not happen. The Hawks will probably start off terrible until they all can gel. On top of that, you will probably lose Niemi....oh wait I forgot, he could possibly be replaced by Turco (GIVE EM THE CUP NOW!!!!) LAWL. Lets go ahead and compare teams: Projected 2010 Chicago Blackhawks: FORWARDS - Patrick Kane / Jonathan Toews / Marian Hossa Patrick Sharp / Dave Bolland / Tomas Kopecky Troy Brouwer / Viktor Stalberg / Jack Skille Bryan Bickell) / Jake Dowell / Jeff Taffe DEFENSEMEN - Brian Campbell / Duncan Keith Brent Seabrook / Niklas Hjalmarsson John Scott / Brian Connelly Goaltenders - Niemi - Huet Now the projected 2010 Detroit Red Wings: Forwards- Holmstom / Datsyuk / Zetterberg Franzen / Filppula / Bertuzzi Hudler / Abdelkader / Cleary Eaves / Helm / Miller Defenseman- Rafalski / Lidstrom Kronwall / Stuart Ericsson / Lilja (?) Goaltenders- Howard - Osgood Just looking at the comparison of teams makes me laugh. Go ahead and look at the teams and try to tell me with a straight face that Chicago has a better chance than Detroit. But have fun jerking off to your core that is so godly. I mean, its not like Detroit not only has a better core, but better depth, and team as a whole.

And the Columbus Blue Jackets like their chances of becoming a force in the Central. Nothing to see here, folks.

I like their chances to repeat myself: nil.

oh please sign turco... i f*cking dare you, chicago! turco has always been detroit's b*tch and always will be... so, by all means, sign turco.

"Aw, talk about destroying a poor goalie's confidence!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4CD84qo9Eo

Turco? That guy who's won one playoff game at the Joe in his career? Perfect fit!

Niemi won't get signed

cocaine. lots of it.

When it's all said and done,doesn't Doug Janik seem like a solid 3rd pairing guy?Why not give him a shot.Its not like we absolutely have to sign another defenseman.I'd be fine with a 3rd defensive pairing of Ericsson and Janik.

Why not? 1. Scotty Bowman hated him as a player. 2. He's worse now than he ever was 3. No more washed up former Wings

Eric Nystrom for the fourth line.Get rid of Lilja and sign Sheldon Brookbank.Ryan Malone adds a little bit of scoring and grit.Lombardi would be okay too.A lot of this depends on what Lidstrom and Holmstrom do.

No. Getzlaf, I'd take in a heart beat. Same for Ryan. Perry needs to contract HIV, whither away to about 100 lbs, catch on fire, and while running towards the fireman who could put him out, get hit by a tractor trailer.
